A collection of poetry
by Patricia Wellingham-Jones
from Mongolian Art Exhibit
I turn a corner, stunned now by faces /
on the wall—masks of deities, shamans, /
in papier-mâché, carved wood, stuffed skin. /
Black brows pull down over glaring eyes, /
red mouths stretch in snarls or gentle smiles.

Written with Light
by JeFF Stumpo
The natives had it
backwards.
The camera
doesn’t steal their souls.
The photographer is the one
who forces
his essence
through mirror, lens, and filter
until the light beats it back
onto a thin
strip of film.
JeFF Stumpo is author of El Oceano y La Serpiente / The Ocean and The Serpent, a multilingual chapbook confounding the history/story and other borders; co-founder and co-editor of Big Tex[t], an online literary journal based at Texas A&M University (bigtext.tamu.edu); and founder and host of Javashock, the Brazos Valley's poetry slam.
